Pi 4, this has been consistent with at least the last three or four updates, don’t know if more. Audio out to amp via HDMI, from there video to TV.
Somewhere in the range of every fifth to tenth time I pause a video, when I resume there is no audio. Searched for similar threads, but they all seem to describe a delay in audio resumption. In my case, no audio. Can play for minutes with no audio.
Pretty simple solution, stop video (as opposed to pause) and then resume from last position and all is good, usually with a 10-second rewind to get back to where I was when I paused.
A very minor annoyance, it doesn’t happen every time, and the fix is pretty easy when it does, but if anyone has ideas/settings to check would appreciate fixing it. Don’t even know if it is something with OSMC or with the AV gear.
Need to see some logs to advise.

I notice this occasionally but just hit the left arrow to skip back 10 seconds and that fixes it. It doesn’t really bother me.
I’ll try to create it and then post some logs. It’s not a reliable thing (as in I don’t know exactly what it takes to re-create) so wanted to see if it was something anybody else had seen.
I wanted to come back here after some investigation. I have found that the problem is not related to OSMC, but since 90% of our TV use is with OSMC it sometimes looks that way.
We have HDMI output from OSMC daisy-chained to an audio system and the TV. With OSMC and with other devices that play through the same chain, when pausing video we occasionally do not get audio on resume. My OSMC logs when it happens show nothing, and this seems to make sense since the same thing happens with other services as well.
I’ve tried both pass through and ARC configurations and it seems to happen either way. Since both the TV and audio are black boxes not much I can to to troubleshoot them, so I guess we get to live with stopping and restarting the video when it happens.
Hope that helps someone else who runs into the same thing, and thanks @sam_nazarko for both responding and for all the hard work on keeping OSMC up and running.
